Most ornate bridge in Paris

Extravagant structure spanning the river Seine with most noticeable gilded bronze statues of Fames, each restraining Pegasus, on tall pedestals. On the left bank the Pegasus is being restrained by the Fame of Commerce and the Fame of Industry, on right bank by the Fame of the Sciences and the Fame of the Arts. A beautiful bridge from above and below.

    The Insanely "Over The Top" Bridge Over The Seine!
    Spend some time looking at this marvel of engineering and design on one of your Paris walks. It's a great place to watch people and hear languages from all over the world. Wedding portraits, wedding day pictures, photo shoots, tourists taking photos or waving at boats passing below...It's a happening place to spend some time. It's also a great vantage point from which to take pics of the Eiffel Tower or watch it twinkle on the hour starting at 7:00 pm. The light display lasts 5 minutes and is surely worth a 1 minute video to the home as a souvenir.

    Visit just before dusk and watch the sun go down and the lights come on!
    My favorite place to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris! Plan to arrive just before dusk so you can see the beautiful bridge in daylight and watch the bridge and the Eiffel Tower as the sun sets, it becomes dark and the lights come on! It is breathtakingly beautiful! Then at the top of the hour, the Eiffel Tower twinkles at night. ( To help with climate issues, France now limits the number of twinkle light shows each night. Check online to make sure you do not miss it) You will get wonderful photos of the bridge and the Eiffel Tower with all the different changes of lighting. It is a must see if you visit Paris for the first time or anytime you visit Paris!
